Burberry's Patchwork Handbag

While searching for a bag to highlight in relationship to the Fourth of July holiday, I remembered an important point--whether it be the anniversary of our independence or not, I would rather take a bottle-rocket to the eyeball than to wear Americana-themed apparel. I'm just not into the whole patriotic-till-you-puke looks and it's likely I never will be. Having said that, there are those rare occasions when red and blue mesh together perfectly and steal your heart away. This is the case with Burberry's new Patchwork Handbag. As part of the Fall/Winter collection, the bag features deep red and navy blue leather panels and gathered front pockets for a very sexy and sophisticated look. Although not due out until September and therefore clearly not designed with this weekends holiday in mind, to me this bag has Independence Day written all over it.
